Amex Travel seems to be the best place to book. Comes up as first class.

Seems that Delta recently changed how they code G fares from VS so this is meant to be a premium economy fare. Will probably be a fight to get more than that.

Seats I was assigned is 21k and 23k so it makes sense. Who should I call? Amex?

Interesting. It let's me choose upper class seats (row 2,3 etc.) on Virgin Atlantic but after it reloads the page, I see my old assigned seats.

It's interesting that when looking up the reservation on DL, it shows the reservation with First (G). Additionally, when going to the seat selection on VS, it lists Upper Class, but then shows a seat selected in PE. When trying to select a seat in Y, it gives a "downgrade" message and won't let it be selected, however, when selecting a seat in Upper Class, the system allows it (though, as mentioned, this doesn't stick).

Lastly, the fare I booked (MIA-LHR) through PL is the exact same as the PE fare given when looking on the VS website directly. It would be an excellent deal if it were business (<$1k from MIA), but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Thanks. If I do manage to get a business class seat, will I have issues when I check in with Virgin Atlantic downgrading me to Premium Economy?
